Welcome to the MS Computer Lab Blog!

The objective of our blog is to share information about how we integrate our technology curriculum into the subject area curriculum. The foundation of this effort is the methodology of team teaching the lessons with the Middle School subject area teachers. Each post describes a particular lesson, the software used, some of the skills that were targeted, and the number of days that were spent in the lab.

Radio Theater Recording & Performance

The 8th Grade Social Studies continued their project by using Garage Band to record parts of their script. The instructions specified that the narrator, minor characters and sound effects could be recorded and the principal parts would be spoken live during the performance. Students learned to record on different tracks, how to create fade ins and fade outs, as well as how to use ducking effectively.
